Andrea Marini is a physicist, PhD, senior researcher at the ISM Institute of the CNR, Monterotondo Research Area. Author of over 150 publications in international scientific journals, with over 8,000 citations. He is responsible for numerous international research projects in the field of theoretical physics and materials science and technology.
Through the theoretical approach combined with the use of computational languages he has contributed to the international research through the definition of predictive and multiscale models and methods for the resolution of complex problems in the fields of condensed matter and photonics, integrating the major theories developed to date in the field of physics and quantum physics. He has also participated as a speaker in numerous international conferences and held lectures in many universities and research centers in Italy and abroad. He is head of the Ultrafast Processes in Materials Division (FLASH-it) of the CNR-ISM, where he coordinates the Materials Modeling Laboratory. The laboratory is made up of 12 permanent members and 3 postDocs and is also equipped with a local high-performance computing cluster. The heterogeneity of the background and skills of the laboratory members is the strong point of the modeling capacity of the CNR-ISM. The modeling laboratory can in fact perform simulations on a wide range of materials and physical and chemical phenomena: from structural analysis to equilibrium excited state properties (band structures, optical-electronic properties, transport, magnetic properties and more). Furthermore, the FLASHit division provides the laboratory with the most advanced theoretical and methodological techniques to investigate real-time processes observed in pump&probe experiments and/or under the action of time-dependent fields. FLASH-it and, more generally, the modeling laboratory can count on numerous national and international collaborations.
Andrea Marini was the creator in 2009 and is currently coordinator of the ab-initio Yambo project, known and used by researchers on the subject worldwide.
